Lights and visibility
88•The rear fog light is so bright that it can dazzle drivers behind you. You
should use the rear fog light only when visibility is very poor.•The use of the lighting described here is subject to the relevant statutory
requirements.Instrument and switch lighting / Headlight range controlInstrument and switch lighting
When the headlights are switched on, the brightness of the instruments and
switch lighting can be regulated to suit your requirements by turning the
thumb wheel ⇒fig. 51 .
Those vehicles fitted with xenon gas discharge headlights are fitted with an
automatic headlight range system.
Headlight range control
By using the electrical headlight range control, you can adjust the head-
light range to the load level that is being carried in the vehicle. This way, it is possible to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic more than necessary. At the same
time, by using the correct headlight settings, the driver has the best possible
lighting for the road ahead.
The headlights can only be adjusted when the dipped beam is switched on.
To lower the beam, turn the thumb wheel down from the basic setting
0.
Dynamic headlight range control
Ve hi cle s wi th gas discharge bulbs (xenon bulbs) are equipped with dynamic
headlight range control . When you switch on the lights, their range regulates
itself according to the vehicle load.
Vehicles with gas discharge bulbs do not have headlight range control.
Daytime running lights*
Daytime running lights light up automatically when the igni-
tion is switched on (only with AFS headlights)Daylight driving lights switch off automatically when the street lighting
comes on.
Note
See legal requirements for each country.

Adaptive headlights* (for driving round bends)
When driving around bends, the headlights will light the
most important areas of the road.This cornering light gives better illumination of the side of the road and the
corner area. The dynamic lighting is controlled automatically according to
speed and the steering wheel angle.
The two main headlights move at different angles to avoid that the front of the
vehicle is left completely in the dark.
Note
The system operates from a speed of about 10 km/h.
Fog lights with cornering function*
This is an additional light source to dipped beam headlights
to light up the road as a bend is taken.The cornering light operates with the lights switched on and when driving at
less than 40 Km/h. They light up when the steering wheel is turned or the
flashers are operated.
Forward gear•If the steering wheel is turned to the right, or the right-hand turn signal
operated, the right-hand headlight lights up.•If the steering wheel is turned to the left, or the left-hand flasher operated,
the left-hand headlight lights up.
In reverse gear both headlights light up.Note
When the fog lamps are on, the cornering function is activated and both
headlights are continuously on.Coming home function*
When it is dark, the area around the car is lit up with the aid
of the Coming Home / Leaving Home function.To activate the function
– Remove key from ignition switch.

Switch adjusts temperature. The required temperature inside the vehicle
cannot be lower than the ambient temperature. Maximum heat output, which is needed to defrost the windows quickly, is only available when the engine
has reached its operating temperature.
Blower
The air flow can be set at four speeds with switch . The blower should
always be set at the lowest speed when driving slowly.
Air distribution
Control for setting the flow of air in the required direction.
– Air distribution towards the windscreen in order to demist. For safety
reasons, it is not recommended to switch air recirculation on. – Air distribution to the upper body. – Air distribution to footwell. – Air distribution to the windscreen and the footwell.
Air recirculation mode
Air recirculation mode on (a lam p lights up in red) prevents strong odours
from the outside air from entering in the vehicle, for example when passing
through a tunnel or in a traffic jam ⇒.
When the outside temperature is low, air recirculation mode improves
heating performance by heating air from the interior instead of cold air from
the outside.
WARNING
•For your safety, the windows should never be fogged up or covered with
snow or ice. This is essential to ensure good visibility. Please familiarise
yourself with the correct operation of the heating and ventilation system,
including the demist/defrost functions for the windows.

Automatic mode
In automatic mode air temperature, air flow and distribution
are automatically regulated so that a specified temperature is
attained as quickly as possible, and then maintained.Switching on automatic mode
– Press the button . The indication ⇒page 126, fig. 98
is visible.
–Press keys and ⇒page 126, fig. 98 to adjust the desired
temperature inside the vehicle. We recommend you adjust the
temperature to 22°C (72°F).A comfortable interior climate is quickly reached when a temperature of 22°C
(72°F) is set in automatic mode. Therefore, we recommend you not to change
this adjustment, except as necessary to suit individual preferences or partic-
ular circumstances. The inside temperature can be set between +18°C (64°F)
and +29°C (86°F). If a lower or higher temperature is selected, LO or HI are
respectively displayed on the screen. These are approximate temperatures
which may slightly vary depending on the outside conditions.
Climatronic maintains a constant temperature. To do it, it automatically regu-
lates the supplied air temperature, the blower speed and the air distribution.
The system also considers the sunlight radiation, so there is no need for
manual readjustment. Therefore, automatic mode almost always provides
the best comfort for the vehicle occupants throughout the year.
Automatic mode is switched off whenever an adjustment is made using the
buttons for the air distribution, blower or . The temperature continues to
self-regulate.

If and when
210The individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are located
behind a cover at the left-hand end of the dash panel. When the steering
wheel is on the right, the fuses are on the right-hand side of the dash panel,
behind a cover.
The electric windows are protected by circuit breakers . These reset automat-
ically after a few seconds when the overload (caused for example by frozen
windows) has been corrected.
Fuses colour code
WARNING
Never “repair” damaged fuses and never replace them with fuses with a
higher rating. Failure to comply could result in fire. This could also cause
damage to other parts of the electrical system.
Note
•If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical
system must be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.•If you replace a fuse with higher-rating fuse, you could cause damage to
another location in the electrical system.
•Always keep some spare fuses in the vehicle. These are available from
